"But in this variation, we're going to checkmate our opponent, because I was informed that's how you win the game."
-
i came back from the fridge at the exact moment he said "okay, you're back from the fridge."
-
39:30 " At this point black didn't actually resign, the arbiter said 'Ok, that's enough' '" This line had me crying
-
"Black can resign because he's almost ready for the next game" lol
-
Grabs pen and quickly scribbles "whoever checkmates their opponent..."
-
I was about to fall asleep to Finegold but he decides to wake me up.
-
That was so strange! I was dozing off at the 20 min mark when he started saying "one guy is at home asleep, yeah you, wake up" and I literally jumped out of my sleep and was so confused. It felt like he was actually talking to me.
-
Wait.... I came back from getting milk, dude looks at me and goes... OK ur back from the fridge.... Now THAT is a grand master!
-
finegold is so sarcastic its hilarious
-
I was wondering why my life felt so empty and meaningless for the past couple months and I realized, no Ben Finegold.
-
Not only is he funny, but he makes me want to study chess. What magic is this!?
-
GM Ken West FINALLY makes an appearance. I would love to see him host his own series for this channel.
-
And then black super resigned because he is a super grandmaster. He resigns differently than you do. This line is just gold.
-
man...this guy has seriously got a great sense of humour
-
"Rook E1 looks good but like Anna Kurnikova, never wins" - take a bow Ben, you legend!
-
Ken West looks a lot different from what I imagined...you should show him more often, we love that guy!!!
-
believe it or not this is the video that got me into chess, 3 years ago. Now im an 1800 and improving every day!
-
He told the latent potential story in one of his recent streams. 7 years later and it's still in his repertoire
-
38:50 "Black could've resigned because he's almost ready for the next game" Best joke Ben Finegold has told
-
I was falling asleep just when Ben said to wake up. Scary scary times 😂😂
